Mixed emotions about Monday.
For Passionada, the horse needed a 'perfect run' to win the race and Robert Winston did just that. Watching jockey's battling the outside draw this year, too many put their horses under pressure early on to get to position. I watched the replay and RW took the horse across and realized from the first strides, he wouldn't grab the early lead and settled the horse into a manageable pace and sailed into a comfortable position. No extra energy used to do so and the race was under control.
For backs, I was happy with the selections though Zaheeb lost to Rapid Water who nicked the win at the line.
It only hilites that 'fine line' between steady gains and a solid winning day.
